Answer 1

2. Apartheid began in 1948.

3. Apartheid lasted until 1994.

4. I think apartheid lasted so long because the South African government supported it and enforced it with laws that made it difficult for people to move away from the racial divide.

5. The Land Act of 1913 divided South African land into different areas based on a person's race, so that Black people were only allowed to own land in certain areas.

6. The African National Congress (ANC) was created to oppose apartheid.

7. The Afrikaner National Party divided South Africans along tribal lines in order to maintain their power and control over the country.

8. The government banned marriages between Black people and White people in 1949.

9. The Land Acts did two main things: they prohibited Black people from owning or buying land, and they prevented non-White people from buying land in designated "white only" areas.

10. The Apartheid Law that stood out to me the most was the Land Act of 1913 because it was so influential in creating the racial divide that shaped South African society.
